Title: Hi all!
Post by: khyrox on September 19, 2005, 06:05:36 PM
Just wanted to say hi to everyone on the board. I just got my PC-FX today and it's such a cool system. Very happy! :D I only have Blue Breaker to play with right now, but I should be getting Zeroigar and Battle Heat in a day or two. (Man, Zeroigar cost a fair chunk of change!)

Anyways, I'm glad I found a forum and site devoted to all things PC-FX and PC Engine. I've learned alot about the system from reading this site and forum in the past few days. Thanks!  :)

Hi, welcome!

I don't have PC-FX, unfortunately, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the community here. :)

Welcome to the FX community! If you have questions don't hesitate to ask, I think all here will be glad if they can help you.

BTW, try to get Chip Chap Kick and if you like strategy games get Farland Story FX, it's cheap and makes a lot of fun.

Cool, thanks for the suggestions. I'm starting out with some action games since they should be easy to get into... once I've "settled" in, I'll definitely be looking to check out the other types of games that the system has.  :)

Unfortunately there aren't too many action games available for the FX. Try to have a look at the language list here, in order to see which games require what level of japanese when you play them. I had the most fun with the games up to level 3.

Cool. Yup, I took a look at the language list and game overviews to see what I'd probably pick up next. Chip Chan Kick looks fun... think I'll try to find that next.

I'm really impressed with the 2D prowess of the system, and the FMV playback is impressive as well. I'm a big Sega Saturn fan and I remember it took a little while before that system had decent full screen FMV (not counting  the MPEG addon).

Try Boundary Gate if you want a good RPG that you can play without knowing Japanese.  I beat it, it was awesome.  Last Imperial Prince is also super rad.

Last Imperial Prince is a game I really want to play whenever I buy a PC-FX!

Ooo, can't wait to hear the news!  :)

On another note, Zeroigar and Battle Heat arrived at my door today! I haven't tried Battle Heat out yet, but Zeroigar has been pretty cool! The shooter itself isn't anything that innovative, but it's fast, it's smooth, it's colorful, the bosses are big, there's lots of stuff flying around, and I love those intermissions!
